NBC6/Telemundo 51 team goes in search of a more sustainably way of life in Lessons from the Jungle documentary

Lessons from the Jungle is a documentary about searching for a more sustainable way of life. The documentary sheds light on some of our most pressing climate challenges and takes you to Costa Rica, a country known worldwide for its conservation initiatives. While living in the Costa Rican jungle, we meet people who live sustainably. Among them, is an elderly indigenous man who lives off the land and builds everything he has. Also included in the documentary is a family who lives in the jungle and teaches permaculture as well as the former President of Costa Rica who was in power when his country received UN’s Champion of the Earth Award. We also travel to a town that captures more carbon that it emits and to several locations where local organizations are mitigating emissions through reforestation programs.
